I have stayed at The Magnolia B&B many times and each occasion is absolutely wonderful! The rooms are clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. A delicious breakfast is always included- as well as wine, cheese/crackers and cookies at happy hour. The owners, Joe and Cindy, are marvelous hosts, terrific people and so knowledgeable about the Gainesville area. You will love every... More

It was so awesome! We stayed in the Gardenia and the only thing that could've been better would've been a longer stay. Everything was excellent. The decor and grounds were stunning, Cindy and Joe were amazing, and every need was met and exceeded. Breakfast was always delicious and unique and every question I had about the house was answered by... More

The attention to detail and charming accommodations make this THE place to stay. We were in the Carriage House this stay and found it over the top wonderful! The owners are friendly and make sure that everything meets or exceeds your needs & wishes. The entire property is a peaceful and delightful place to be.

We had a 2 bedroom cottage with a living room, full kitchen, sunroom, and private walled garden with a fountain. It was very private and peaceful. We were there when the hosts were gone, so we didn't have breakfast or the afternoon wine get together, BUT our rates were discounted to make up for it. We enjoyed the Magnolia Plantation... More

We visited Gainesville after a six-year hiatus and had a blast of a time. The two cottages we stayed in where immaculate, spacious and had all of the accommodations and then some (e.g., fenced-kin back yard--my city dog's first ever--and a jacuzzi tub). And the staff was amazing. Maybe my next visit won't wait six years.

This place has everything you want from a B&B: location, charm, home-made breakfasts, friendly hosts, and a nice Happy Hour at 5:00. It is a few blocks from the downtown section of Gainesville and about a mile and a half from the University of Florida. I would take it over a large, business-style hotel any day. The small cottages in... More

I had the opportunity to stay at the Magnolia Plantation B&B for only one night. Next time I will definitely stay longer. My room, the Magnolia Room, was absolutely awesome! I arrived in the evening and it had just grown cold. When I entered my room I was greeted by a fire in the fireplace and soft music. I had... More

My party of 3 overnighted in Cinnamon, and wish we could have stayed another night. If you would enjoy hosts with a sense of humour, lots of space, a front porch swing, and walking distance to shopping/good eats, then consider Magnolia. If price is your major consideration, squeeze into a chain motel room.

I travel a lot because of my work and have the opportunity to see many different locations and hotels. When away from home, you very quickly adapt to the place you live, becoming "Home" away from home. Hotels can be practical and even luxurious, making it easy to accommodate in a strange environment. But what I appreciate the most are... More
